“Is there a better review than Andrew and the amazing experience at the U Brew lounge had me sipping coffee when I'm someone who only drinks tea!! This is a must visit spot. Set aside your latte obsessions and come in to sip (or slurp) from the most intentional and sensory rich coffee experience you will ever have.“

“We had a baby shower at CommonPlace Coffee & Community, it was the perfect event space! The staff member present was amazing, kind, and super helpful. The space is huge and accommodates a good amount of people, it was super spacious and we were able to decorate as well for the theme. I would recommend to anyone for an event, it had such a cozy vibe and was a great experience!“

“I lived across from Java for years. Every day I looked forward to heading over there, seeing familiar faces, and trying their fresh baked goods. It’s still the best cup of coffee in Knoxville and I go there every time I’m back in town! 💜“

“Decaf Happy 🌱 Kale Yeah 💚 thanks for the OatMilk🥕“

“juniper pine latte- knocked it outta knoxville“

“Great coffee!!!!! 🙂☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️👍🏻“

“Obsessed with Scooters coffee! I typically order either a large black hot coffee or large black hot Americano and have never been let down. The brew is fresh, hot, and served by friendly employees. The insulated cardboard cups are the best around- no need for a separate sleeve, and I've yet to experience a leak from the lid. Hands down, my favorite go-to for a quick coffee.“

“Very happy and satisfied with my experiences at Scooter's from my first visit to now! Every time I have been there everyone is extremely nice and friendly always willing to help me pick out something if I'm not sure what I want! Love the special flavors of the month that they offer! Great coffee and I love the carmelious muffin! Best muffin I've had! The management there does an excellent job and are always friendly each time I visit!“

“Excelente cafe sobre todo con el frío que está haciendo jajaja.“

“Great coffee!!!!! 🙂☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️👍🏻“

“I've been here a few times now. My main motivation was to buy some crochet items from their corner for local crafters. But the inside is beautiful. I now love just chilling with a coffee while I get some work done. I wish I lived closer so it made sense to be a frequent customer. The baristas have always been friendly and even when I stopped by 10 min before closing she still made my drink with a smile. This time I got a white mocha frappe and it is heaven in a cup. I cant believe how good this drink is. I will definitely be coming back“

“My wife and I have different taste in coffee and we both liked what we got. We’ll be back!“

“Amazingly delicious coffee and baked goods! We needed a hit of caffeine before continuing a long drive and happened in to Coffee and Chocolate in Market Square. Very cute spot, super nice barista who recommended a few other locally owned places to check out and the perfect iced americano to keep me awake in the car. The salted caramel and chocolate shortbread we grabbed was divine.“

“Delicious coffee and amazing staff, especially ERIC.“

“Love this place! Staff are great, super helpful, and there are so many options to choose from on the menu. Especially exciting for a non-coffee drinker like myself. They have so many coffees but also energy drinks, sodas, lemonades, teas and more. My new favorite place!“

“Their bacon egg and cheese sandwich croissant is the best ?“

“I’ve been to Jacks probably about 3 times and every time I get the Cardamom Latte. The environment is incredible with friendly workers. The thing that truly makes this place different though is the gluten free availability and the flea market style. Definitely recommend to anyone.“

“Best donut shop in town! The owner always goes above and beyond.“

“We stumbled upon this place while we were looking for a local place to grab breakfast. You do want to be there early as it is a first come, first serve - one man shop. The blueberry breakfast sandwich and blueberry biscuits were buttery and soft. Excellent experience and we will be back next time we’re in the area. Highly recommend!“

“I love their house made syrups. It is my favorite place to get a latte and have some alone time or meet up for business.“

“I am visiting Knoxville TN for work. I was looking for a local Kava bar to get a Kratom mocktail. I came in and immediately felt at home and very welcomed. The owner was super nice and knowledgeable. Her puppy Moose was too adorable! I had the Kratom Piña Colada, the NK Sunset, and the Summer Haze. All absolutely amazing. I will be back again for work and will most definitely be stopping by at Noble Kava!!“

“This is my first order with them, & they did not disappoint! It is SO delicious! The placement of the fruits in the bowl are even great! They sure did a great job. I didn’t know where they were located & they’re actually close to my home! Heck yeah!“

“This location is amazing! I was running super late for work and thought I put my coffee order and Lo and behold I did not! I put it in,

when I pulled in the parking lot. When I walked in they were working on a HUGE coffee order and I said can I cancel? I don’t have time to wait. The barista said no worries I’ll make it right now!

In less than 5 minutes the coffee was in my hand and I was walking out the door. Despite the huge order! They are always friendly attentive and polite!

Best Starbucks in West Knoxville HANDS DOWN!!“

“Had the best time hanging out with the kitties. Such a wonderful place to be.“

“Delicious! Definitely help me with my morning sickness. 10/10 be back soon!“

“My daughter was meeting some friends here. While I was there, I witnessed such a beautiful moment. One of the baristas was engaging with a gentleman with special needs who was in a wheelchair. She knew what drink he liked, his preferences, and was such a beautiful picture of kindness and service and she went above and beyond to extend hospitality to him. She was also an amazing example to the other Starbucks team members. What a wonderful leader she was!!! I was blown away! Well done Starbucks!“

“This Starbucks has been awesome to us. Our favorite thing to order is the Iced White Chocolate Mocha. The staff is always friendly fun to interact with. When winter began to end and I started coming by to pick up coffee grounds, they're always ready to give what's on hand and never sigh or complain. Whether for coffee grounds or coffee this is one of the best stops in South Knoxville.“

“Love this little gem in Karns! A must-visit for us when we are in town. Cute atmosphere, great coffee, and amazing donuts! The service here is wonderful! Julia welcomed us and helped us pick from the wide selection of drinks and donuts. Highly recommend a visit!“

“Never a line here! The baristas are so nice, and make really good drinks to provide me grocery-shopping fuel. Plus, I can get Kroger points when I get my coffee here. Mamas, you are foraging for your family! Go ahead and treat yourself ♡♡“

“Went for my first time last night and loved the environment. the milk tea babo was amazing as was the hey brrrrr lemonade. My partner got the taro and it was delicious as well.“

“Hey everyone! I just had to share my awesome experience at Halls Dutch Bros today! Since they opened, I've been stopping by at least once a week for my much-needed pick-me-up. And let me tell you, their service is always top-notch! 👏🏼 But here's the best part: today, after leaving the parking lot, I noticed that my drink tasted a bit strange. 😬 I'm allergic to sugar-free sweeteners, and they make me feel violently ill when I drink/eat something sugar free Without hesitation, I turned my car around and explained the situation to the lovely lady taking my order. She immediately put in a remake for me, no questions asked! 🙏🏼 When I reached the front, the kind young gentlemen informed me that they were 99% sure it wasn't sugar-free, but they still made me a new drink because they wanted me to enjoy it without any worries! I can't express how grateful I am for their understanding and quick action, especially considering how busy they were. Halls Dutch Bros, you guys truly rock! Thank you for going above and beyond to ensure your customers' satisfaction.“

“This Starbucks is in the Ingles grocery store on oak ridge highway. The workers are great always have a smile on their face.

Kid-friendliness: They always offer the children their own little drinks this place is nice.

Parking: This Starbucks is in the Ingles grocery store on Oakridge highway very nice atmosphere. They have their own little area of tables very relaxing.“

“The best donuts around, especially the fritters and the blueberry and strawberry cake donuts. I do recommend calling and ordering a day in advance because they seem to sell out often.“

“Such an awesome spot for coffee! ☕💚 Coming from a super vegan-friendly town, I haven’t found many places with great plant-based options — so hearing that the default milks were oat and almond absolutely made my heart happy! The barista was kind and friendly And happily educated me on some other items on their menu that I will check into at a later time. Huge thanks for offering healthy, humane, and seriously delicious choices!“

“The room was cozy and perfectly appointed. Thoroughly enjoyed our short stay while picking up our Volunteer after her first semester completed at UT. Will definitely book again!“

“We love Starbucks in Turkey Creek! We feel comfortable meeting here for our business - sometimes an hour, sometimes several hours. Yesterday, we sat outside and it was hot, but they do have umbrellas for shade. The restaurant is always clean and service is great!“
